Hi all

has anyone succsefully configures TACACs on a mellanox switch with clearpass, I need help , cannot get it right . tried with cisco settings but it didnt work........     

Thanks

Sven

Could you be a bit more specific on where you currently struggle?

Have you been able to configure the Mellanox switch in such a way, that TACACS requests are being sent to ClearPass?

I am having the same problem.  I can create a tacacs service and import it but I'm not sure what the services has to have in it for the mlnx-exec.

So I log in, it says I pass authenticaiton and the alert is shown and I get re-prompted for the password.

BTW, I solved this issue.  I added this to the Tacacs Dictionary and specified this service in the profile.  I probably don't need the attribute, just the service...

    <TacacsServiceDictionary dispName="mlnx-exec:unknown" name="mlnx-exec:unknown">
      <ServiceAttribute dataType="String" dispName="protocol" name="protocol"/>
    </TacacsServiceDictionary>

Hi All , Thanks Phillip for your input , I figured it out , I had to export the TACACS dictionary first then add to the xml and import it back.  

Works like a charm.. Your a legend. Thank you

Your a legend thank you
